    Rate the newly discovered locket photo purporting to be Joseph Smith.

    If it is truly a photo of Joseph Smith, I guess I can kinda see how he got so many extra wives.

      I like it better than the 1842 painting...

              Link?

              EDIT: I did my own googling:

              Does an image of Joseph Smith exist? What one descendant found in a forgotten family heirloom
              https://www.deseret.com/faith/2022/7/21/23271786/does-image-joseph-smith-exist-what-one-descendant-found-forgotten-family-heirloom-lds
              In 2020, Daniel Larsen stumbled across a watch locket he inherited 28 years earlier. Could what he found inside be the first daguerreotype image of Joseph Smith?

                  He looks like a Joe Smith.

                          Yeah. Agree. And I definitely like the photo a lot more than the painting. I have never really liked the painting.

                                  It's from his direct descendants, so I don't see why it wouldn't be legit.

                                              I agree, but I am not an expert in how these things are confirmed.

                                                          I think this picture is awesome. It's just so different to see an actual picture instead of a painting.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
